NAME

rewind − rewind tape drive

SYNOPSIS

rewind [ tape ]

DESCRIPTION

Rewind rewinds the tape drive, if a tape is mounted on it.  Rewinding is accomplished by opening and closing the tape drive, using a file name that will rewind when the file is closed.  If an argument is given that is taken as the name of the tape drive rather than the default /dev/mt0.
